Have a laugh at my expense...baby's first spoon

[British Red]

Well I'm not so much a baby any more! I started with an oak log - think I'll try something a bit softer next! Yeah I know its lopsided, but I learned a lot

Oh I so wish I'd turned out something as good as the piccs of your guys stuff.....

Maybe next time :11doh:

 

[Ed]

Hey, thats really good... nothing to laugh at .... don't worry about it being lopsided, all mine come out a little on the squiff, it shows its hand made

You guys are far too kind - its vaguely sopon shaped at best! I guess I could eat with it but thats it. I wasn't sure what to expect when I started - I guess I expected to b***er it up completely and hoped to find a hidden natural talent. Neither proved true! Like all things I suspect hard work, lots of practice and time are required to get good. I'm always critical of everything I make and can see all the imperfections that no-one else cares about!

Still I'm not disheartened enough not to try again! I suspect the 2 ton woodpile to be kindling and shavings soon!

Maybe if i posted my first spoon you would see things differently , it was terrible, and it broke in half...

Effort mate, keep it up.

I really like it mate, better than my first spoon! You've spurred me on to have another go actually, havn't done one since my first, better get the ol' knife out!

[bushtuckerman]

I use my first spoons as stirrers in the kitchen, they don't fit in my mouth!

That's a very nice spoon, especially for a first.

 

[Celt_Ginger]

My first spoon was perfection itself, a work of art, something no master spoon msker could better..............then I woke up. It was rough to say the least. the bowl cracked the first time it got used, and it was bent like a Lib Dem leadership contender. My daughter uses it as a play thing now. But, I was still proud of it, and had fun making it, so I'll keep at it and make more.

 

[Tony]

Good stuff indeed. oak's not the easiest wood to start with and I'm sure you're right when you said you learned a lot, I've done a few Oak spoons, my second one was oak and we still use it in the kitchen!

Well done and thanks for showing us up :You_Rock_

Nothing wrong with it. The object is to shovel food and it looks like it will fill the bill.
